Am I seeing this right, a divine as a final prize

I am really not impressed about the timer for the third slot. At 9 days, that is 75% of the event. It just doesn't make sense that free players have to wait so long. It made sense when we had close to three weeks, but not when we only have 12 days for the event. At 45, we have to average 3-4 chests a day, so I'm not even sure it's going to be possible to finish for free with the third slot being locked away for so long.

Not to mention that there is NO Free explosion per day and we don't get double boosters on the 5th day.

Out of curiosity, did they mention why the event is so short (as in why the need to do 2 events back to back) or why they're not making any suitable changes to the difficulty of the event despite shortening the length?

So let me get this straight in my head.

This is the first event that will offer a divine horse, that will continue to be available during the next promo too?

So I can just collect fragments and then see how many are available in the next event too, before opening crowns for the mushroom horse?

I guess offering a divine for finishing is an attempt to make people spend to complete the event, as well as to get the crown divine.


I have a real.issue with this promo, it's mind numbing but as I have the plant divine i'm thinking I can pretty much ignore it and just do enough to collect the fragments.

I don't recall an exact reason given for this new format, but just the statement that it's something they're experimenting with, and they asked for further feedback on it when the second event started on the same preprod session (that is still ongoing for another 3 days).

You are correct.



They are testing a "new way to release events", according to test.

I just don't see a benefit to the shorter events-yet same divine format....

I already can't keep the events straight in my head (as evidenced when I recently made a list matching every Ow's ray to its respective divine and event. I'd already forgotten some of the last 10).

I also simply like structure, and the event schedule has been the same for so many years that I didn't need to bother making notes on when it ended and started. Start on Thursday, end on Monday, lasting through 3 weekends.

The prizes are going to be of less value, simply because they will occur so often. They understandably can't saturate the event prize pool with high value prizes when you can quickly win them. Not with the thousands of divines offering prizes, and those that are won from luck items. And I wonder how that'll affect the event artwork, which we have seen re-used a few times of late, such as the background and the blocks in the current Blast. The art team will have less time to plan.
*kicks away soapbox* Ok, I feel better now

They've been recycling and upcycling event graphics for YEARS now.
The Fall Blast event is the third iteration of it. Frosty's blast? Also recycled. The Rider's store had the same exact graphic for 3 times one after the other.

Merge? We saw the cats twice, and let's not talk about the name they wanted to give to the Fantasy Sharks.
The Pinatas? Also recycled (the birds, anyone? The ""Best of Pinatas"" - side note, COVID was a thing and nobody could have foreseen it, so yeah, understandable!).
Wandering horses? Also recycled.

So I don't think the art department was doing so hot to begin with ^^'''

I'm worried about the promos getting even more repetitive. I mean no disrespect, but the same 10 or so promos on repeat gets boring after a while. It would be nice if some old ones, like the stagecoach, potions, and dress up, made a comeback. Those are promos we used to have, but they've just disappeared. It's been years since we've had a stagecoach promo.

2018 for Potions (with Fairy cake and Cupcake) and 2019 for Stagecoach (ironically?? Also pastries! Cookie and Koekje were in there!).
Tile poofed after Galahad and the Dress up with Little Brave Tailor in 2022ish.

they say this event last 2 weeks it only lasts 12 days and 2 hours. that could make a huge difference.

So if you want both divines do you unlock the chests now? Or is it better to wait for other offers?

Exactly.
But to quote one of my favorite movies, "No matter how bad things are, they can always get worse."
Art is already re-used (which really threw me for a loop when compiling my Ow's landscape list), but I can only imagine what it'll be like if the game sticks with this new format.

I was excited we had a divine as the end prize one i already have. I always wanted an extra day but i dont want it shorten. This was one of my favorite events and the ufos and now lottery being the least. Ufos i think you have to spend lots of equus and or passes to get the divine.

they should put something on the promos page bringing to players attention in a BIG way the much shorter time frame of the promo. not everyone comes to the forums and not everyone automatically pays attention to the dates. When you've been running the same time schedule for promos for yrs and you suddenly make a drastic change you should make it very well known to everyone

It lasts until Tuesday so 13 days and 2 hours, but yes. Not two weeks.



This new format is not a given. The Christmas event is fast approaching and people will go CRAZY if they don't get the usual 4 weeks.

mine says it ends on the 15th at 1000a (EST). which is 290 hours which is 12 full days plus 2 hours

If I have to say *one* positive thing about this event? The Mushroom Divines background is stunning.


Oh and I like the Epic Tack.


That's it, that's the story

You are correct, I was somehow counting today twice.

That's why I said " 'if' they stick with" it

Regardless, this will give us a chance to see how it works on the live version, and I can see how I feel about it afterwards

Is the cup gauge by the number of chests, or do gold/diamond chests give more cups than the bronze chest? I'm trying for Liana.

Number of chests only. A crystal is worth as much as a wooden one for the bar.

I really do like the prizes this time but if there is less time to get them I don't know how many of them I can actually get...
But oh wow a divine for an end prize this time hopefully we won't have to purposely get wood chests the whole time to get her.

Has anyone who has tested this worked out how many free fragments we can collect overall (objectives and event?)

Have the fragments in crowns decreased to account for potentially earning more from objectives
